BAL GANESH !!!

‘Vakratunda Mahakaya Suryakotisamaprabha, Nirbighnam Kurumedeva Sarvakareyesu sarvada.’ Nandi failed to perform his duties as an obedient security guard. Goddess Parvati decided to create a strong person with her divine powers. She started rubbing her skin to take out some clay. She created a little doll of clay and then gave life to it. She named her child as Ganesh.  A rat became a good friend of Ganesh. Why Lord Bholanath started the Tandav Nritya? Who beheaded Ganesh?

Once anything gets killed by using the weapons of Lord Shiva, it cannot be brought back to life again. Go and find out the head of any sleeping baby whose mother is sleeping while facing the opposite direction of that direction towards which that sleeping baby is facing. Nandi and his team members beheaded a baby elephant. The head of that baby elephant got installed on whose body? Everyone will start worshipping that little boy! The boy will be the god of education, power and luck. What is the name of that boy?

Ganesh was fond of eating laddoos and was very naughty too. One day, he took his father’s damroo and started dancing. ‘Shankar ji ka damru baaje, Parvati ka nandan naache, barfiley kailash shikhar par Jai Ganesh ki dhoom.’ Hermit Parashuram came to Kailash Parvat to meet Lord Bholanath. Lord Ganesh did not give him the permission to meet Lord Mahadev. The angry Hermit Parashuram broke one tooth of Lord Ganesh. ‘Tabhi se Ganesh ji ka naam Ekdanta padh gaya.’

Surdaman, a demon impressed Lord Bholanath and got a divine blessing that he will remain undefeated. Surdaman attacked the lords in the heaven and kept them as his prisoners. Lord Indra fled away from the heaven and remained hidden in South India. Why Lord Varuna stopped sending clouds to South India? Why Hermit Agastya started yajna to impress Lord Brahma? ‘Aap turant Kailash parvat par Bhagwan Shankar ke paas jaaiye, unki jataa se ganga baheti hain.’

Lord Shiva gave Hermit Agastya a pot of water and told him to pour the water in South India to create a new river. Hermit Agastya came back to South India and was feeling too tired. Lord Ganesh was following the Hermit. The crow poured the pot of water in South India to start the formation of Kaveri River, a new river of South India. Hermit Agastya scolded the crow and later on realized that it was Lord Ganesh who was in disguise of a crow. ‘Dhanya ho Prabhu. Dhanya ho.’

Kartick was the younger brother of Ganesh. One day, both brothers started comparing their fitness level with each other. Narad Muni, as usual, the pinching master pinched a task to them. Whosoever travels the entire world for three times in quicker time will win the contest. Kartick started his journey on his peacock. Ganesh just travelled for three times around his parents. ‘Natkhat natkhat nanha munha Bal Ganesha hain.’ Who won the competition of Ganesh Vs Kartick and on the basis of which smart logic?

Kuber, the Lord of Gold and treasuries used to feel proud about his wealthy richness and had an ego problem. To show his power of wealth and treasure, Lord Kuber invited Lord Bholanath for lunch at his house. Lord Shankar understood Lord Kuber’s plan and that’s why, he sent Lord Ganesh to attend the lunch. Lord Ganesh ate so much food that Lord Kuber was about to become a beggar. Did Lord Kuber realize his mistake after meeting Lord Bholanath?

Tarakasur attacked Kailash Parvat at that time when Lord Shiva was not in Kailash Parvat. Ganesh ordered Kartick to kill Tarakasur and told that he will also help him in this battle. Did Kartick succeed in killing the Tarakasur demon? There are still lots of stories of Lord Ganesh which are to be seen in the form of animation movies. These were all about some incidents and facts in the life of “BAL GANESH”.
